Good result. We were poor up until the substitutions, but from that point, we were pretty good. Seattle definitely deserved a win though.

 

[Dartastic]

Sunday is gonna be massive. I hope you are all watching. Go Timbers!

In advance of this weekend's rivalry game, Nos Audietis (fan made Sounders podcast) released a great podcast recapping the Red Card Wedding in collaboration with Soccer Made In PDX (fan made Timbers podcast).

It's got different perspectives from players who were on the pitch, one of the sideline referees, Caleb Porter, and others. It's really good. Check it out.

Thanks for the draw, NYs!

 

[zroid]

I wanted to watch the NY derby but it got pre-empted by NFL :/

 

[RBH]

MEARS!

 

[zroid]

that was some hockey tier goal-mouth scrambling

 

[SuperSonic1305]

What happened to Chicago?

 

[Dr Campino]

What happened to Chicago?

Momentum swings both ways. But I think they have some defensive injuries.

 

[Dr Campino]

Seba on cheat mode, it's just not fair.

 

[zroid]

oh my god Bono

 

[zroid]

man that was some phantom call on Beita

edit: ayyyyy LMAO

 

[Dr Campino]

Looooooool Seba

 

[added_time]

Woah TFC is ridiculous

 

[ZZMitch]

Seba god. Jozy beast.

 

[Chris R]

More video review incoming?

 

[Chris R]

Oof, got rough for LA at the end there.

Now it's time for the big event of the weekend!

Screw Connor and Jon Snow, gimmie that Portland/Seattle match!

 

[Cornballer]

Woooooooooo

 

[imBask]

Altidore is unfair, he needs to get nerfed

 

[Chris R]

Nice work in the box to go up 1-0

 

[Dartastic]

Lol. Absolutely nothing about that was "nice." Even if it went the other way that's absolutely not the word to describe what happened.

Nobody gave up on the play, outside of Torres begging for a penalty like a scrub.

 

[Chris R]

Easy penalty, nobody played the ball.

Perfect pass from Valeri.

 

[Dartastic]

HAHAHAHAHAAH WOOOOOO FUCK A GARBAGE GOAL GET FUCKED COME ON TIMBERS

 

[outunderthestars]

HAHAHAHAHAAH WOOOOOO FUCK A GARBAGE GOAL GET FUCKED COME ON TIMBERS

Ha! Was happy to see Valeri score after the rough first half he had to endure.

 

[Dartastic]

Ha! Was happy to see Valeri score after the rough first half he had to endure.

I would have loved to have seen a replay of that first foul in the box where he fell over. Also would love to see Nagbe get forward more. That's why Guzman is so good. Manages to get forward.

 

[Dartastic]

Jordan Morris on the break is a real threat. Too bad Atinella seems to have his number. Really hope I'm not jynxing this with this post.

 

[Dartastic]

That was not a yellow card for Olum. No way.

 

[Chris R]

A 1-1 tie is fair I think, sucks Seattle didn't get anything out of the pressure in the last fifteen but whatever.

 

[outunderthestars]

That was not a yellow card for Olum. No way.

Yea, really baffled by that one.

Gonna get to see the Timbers in NYC next month though!

Hell yeah! Take pics! I probably won't be able to talk soccer for the next month or so. I'm going to Japan in a week! AHHHHHHHHHHHHH

I'm so excited. I've never been. Anyway. Great game. Well played on both sides. Really encouraged by our performance tonight.

i'm guessing you saw this lol

“It’s a great rivalry. [They’re] a good team, they have great fans. But I would love it if they missed the playoffs at our expense. That’d be beautiful,” Altidore admitted after Friday’s practice.

 

[imBask]

i'm guessing you saw this lol

Giovinco also taunted the crowd, and so did Bono at the end of the game

I'm sure the league will look into it amirite

When the United States handed them a 2-0 loss in the Gold Cup, it snapped a seven-game unbeaten streak (4-0-3) in which they conceded just three goals. Costa Rica has kept clean sheets in more than half of their last 16 games in all competitions (9), and in three of the six games in the Final Round.

Players begin reporting Aug. 27 into the New York area ahead of USA-Costa Rica, presented by Volpi Foods. Kickoff at Red Bull Arena is set for 6:30 p.m. ET, and the match will be broadcast on ESPN, Univision and UDN.

Four days later, the U.S. will face Honduras in the cauldron of Estadio Olimpico Metropolitano. The MNT travels to San Pedro Sula for the third straight qualifying cycle, which includes one historic result in 2009 when a pair of goals from Conor Casey and the game-winner from Landon Donovan booked the United States in the 2010 FIFA World Cup. Coverage on Sept. 5 begins at 5:30 p.m. ET on beIN SPORT and UNIVERSO.

Maybe? I don't know if it's in the cards to be honest.

...I might go see Japan Pro Wrestling though.

USMNT game coming up in a few days, so there are a couple of articles bouncing around:

- MLS Analyst: US lineup prediction & more in the return of the TwitBag

Lineup looks fine. It's nothing fancy but should get the job done. I'd love to integrate a few of the youngsters (Doyle mentions McKennie, Jonathan Gonzalez, Tyler Adams, and Jonathan Lewis) but we'll have to wait for qualification before seeing what they're capable of.

On the heels of a star-studded MLS All-Star Game, FOX Sports today announced the FOX broadcast network will feature two MLS matches airing live adjacent to regional National Football League broadcasts on Sunday, Sept. 24. FOX Sports’ MLS and NFL presentation features a battle between Atlanta United and the Montreal Impact at brand new Mercedes-Benz Stadium, and a clash between Western Conference leaders Sporting Kansas City and the LA Galaxy at Children’s Mercy Park.

Live coverage begins at 2:00 PM ET on FOX when the 2013 MLS Cup champions, Sporting Kansas City, hosts the LA Galaxy. The matchup will be available in both competing teams’ home markets, as well as select additional cities around the country. Those areas without the FOX television broadcast of the MLS match will receive a regional NFL broadcast at that time. Soccer fans in markets with the NFL game on FOX have the opportunity to watch full coverage of the Sporting KC-Galaxy match live on FOX Sports GO.

Action continues as the Montreal Impact travels to Mercedes-Benz Stadium to face Tata Martino’s Atlanta United at 5:00 PM ET. Those areas not receiving the broadcast on television will receive a regional NFL broadcast at that time and can watch the full MLS match on FOX Sports GO. Both MLS matches will also be available in Spanish on FOX Deportes.

This is the second consecutive season FOX Sports showcases a joint MLS and NFL lineup, televising games from the two leagues on the same network at the same time. Originally scheduled kickoff times for the two matches have been updated to align with the FOX broadcast network lineup.

Similar to FOX’s process with regional NFL broadcasts, market assignments for the network’s coverage of the Sept. 24 MLS matches will be made public at a later date. When market assignments are announced, MLSsoccer.com will provide a complete overview of the coverage for both the Sporting Kansas City-LA Galaxy and Atlanta United-Montreal Impact matches.

All FOX soccer matches can be live streamed via FOX Sports GO and FOX Soccer Match Pass. FOX Sports GO is available on FOXSportsGO.com or on the FOX Sports GO app, which can be downloaded from iTunes, Google Play, Amazon App Store and Windows Store. Streaming is also now available on several connected devices, including Apple TV, Android TV, FireTV, Roku, Chromecast and Xbox One.

All FOX soccer information, including biographies, photographs and archived press releases are available on FOX Sports Press Pass.
